The cost for Microsoft MetaDirectory can be quite high, with MMS 2.2 the
cost was 0$ but you had to employ Microsoft Consulting Services or a
MetaDirectory Partner to do the deployment, with MMS 3.0 you will be able to
get the software without MCS or a MMS Partner but MMS 3.0 will require a
substantial investment.

Hi Gopi

Check the Microsoft MetaDirectory service. I think this should solve your
problems. It allows two completely separate AD Forests to co-exist and
replicate between each other. Note that I have deliberately not said
migration as this isn't possible at the present time unless anyone knows
different. Whilst I am no advocate of Novell E-Directory\NDS the abilty to
merge trees has been around for eons so I suspect it may appear in AD sooner
or later. The MS web site is

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;MMS

I'm afraid I have no idea of cost a I have never had cause to use it. I
supect this is a product that we will get to see more and more of as more
and more users adopt AD.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.
